Mr. Bell wants $4,000 for the Thistle
Considering that the principal business of a
yacht like the Thistle is to race, and the
Thistle has shown she isn't much of a racer,
that looks like very big price. Better
take her back among the cutters, whero she
stands a chance of winning victories.

Secretary Whitney is said to be ham
pered in his efforts to improve the navy by
systematic resistance to his plans on the
part of his subordinates. Most of these SUBJ

time places in the naval service, but they
may find that way to make them per-
form their duty can be devised.

their presence added no little to the pleas

Dir. tSm5l. the Health Officer of New
York city, says that hs cannot definitely fix
the date for the discharge of the cholera
| infected immigrants who are quarantined
at Hoffman Island. He also says that he
deems it due to the public safety to detain
them until there is a moral certainty that
they cannot become instrumental in spread
! ing the terrible disease.
Health Officer Smith has great response
bility resting upon him. He does not know
when it will be safe to grant these immi-
grants permission to enter the city of New
York. for the reason that there is no way of
determining whether they are wholly free
from cholera Some of the immigrants
from the infected ship who died last Satur-
day from cholera were perfectly healthy,
apparently, when they were taken to Hof
man Island eight or ten days ago.
1t is a question whether it would not be
wise to send the immigrants back to the
country from whence they came. The
Health Officer may take every precaution
which prudence or wisdom suggests and yet
he may not be able to prevent these immi-
grants from introducing cholera into the
country. If the disease finds a Judgment
in New York it will be pretty certain to
spread over the entire country.
1t would be a hardship to the immigrants
to have to return to their old homes, but
what they would have to endure would be
nothing in comparison to what the millions
of this country would have to suffer if the
cholera should begin its deadly work
among them. The question which
presents itself is this: Why should
any risks, whatever be taken in connection
with these or any other immigrants from
cholera-infected districts of Europe. They
are not needed here, and nobody is clamor-
ing for those VINO are here to remain. The
city of New York could very well afford to
pay the expenses of the return trip of those
at Hoffman Island. The government at
Washington ought to give notice that no
immigrants will be received from any coun-
try i'll which cholera prevails. A mistake
with regard to the immigrants on Hoffman
Island may cost the. country millions of dol
lars and thousands of lives.
Ii it were known when person who has
been exposed to cholera is wholly clear from
it, the New York Health Officer could act
intelligently, and with entire safety to the
community under his charge, but nothing
of the kind is known. He has to guess when
immigrants who have been exposed to
cholera are in healthy condition, and his
guess is as likely to be wrong as right. The
people of New York appear to have entire
confidence in their Health Officer. 1t is GER
tainly to be hoped that he will not make
mistake

pluck. No sooner is the Thistle beaten than
comes another challenge for race next
year. Mr.. Sweet, a native of Scotland, but
member of the New York Yacht Club,
has resigned from that club in order that he
may challenge in the name of the British
club to which he also belongs. His vessel
will be designed and built in Scotland, and

probably doomed to disappointment, if he

A Texas robber last week stopped two

ginia. Foraker seems to be unhappy unless
he has row with somebody on his hands
Criminals from Virginia frequently escape
into Ohio, and Foraker, it is alleged, re
fuses to honor the acquisitions of the Gov
ernor of Virginia for them. The opinion
prevails that he is disposed to ignore COM
munications from Gov. Lee. He hasn't any
good reason for his course, as far as known,
and his conduct is accounted for on the
ground of his general disposition to be disa-
greeable to everybody who belongs to the

RocKLEDeE, FLA, March 18th, 1887.
Editor Of the Florida Star.
have received two letters from Hon. Henry
L. Parker and Joel W. Swain, during the past
month, which have been answered, but owing
to the unreliable mail service to the west of US
they may not have been received. In the last
number of the Star have read the Two letters
from Fl. Drum precinct, and with your permis-
sion will reply through your columns hoping
that not only the parties named. but all Others
on the West Side will see my position regarding
the new project Of which your correspondents
speak
have, in times past, asserted myself Is favor
able to q division by making two counties out 0t
Brevsrd. with the 81. Johns AZ dividing line,
providing, Of course, that majority OF the cit
zens on the West Side desired it. But even then
l would consent with feelings of the keen
est regret TO separation, and only then
with equal and fair division of our public
property. Together We have stood shoulder TO
shoulder in the dark days of financial embsr-
rassment, and now when our prosperity Is a.
sured and we are advancing rapidly In wealth
and population it is in my judgment, wisesi and

reward of our prosperity.
When II comes, however, To cut OF the West
Side and patch it on to fragments Of olheI more

Zens "hewers Of wood aud drawers of water"
you anticipate my position in your editorial, for
shall most positively and earnestly protest. Let
me, therefore, through the columns of the Star.
answer our friends Of the West Side, that In my
official capacity shall oppose the separation of
